How are drops decided in game? I have trouble believing it is COMPLETLY random. Cause i have had 3 gold drops in nearly 200 hrs of playing and i spend all my time in areas that are rumored to drop gold's all the time. same with greens-never even seen one, but i spend tons of time in SF...

Usually at night you get better green-drops.... well that's what I have experienced.

Do you farm by yourself?

It's random, but with a twist. The more you farm the same mobs the more 'random' it becomes. I believe the server keeps a count of the enemy you have killed, and then seeds the algorithms accordingly - making good drops less likely.
